Made in China Doctors

Chinese Medical Institutions are conducting an MBBS program in English exclusively for foreign students. Cheap tuition fees and easy admission criteria are considered to be important factors in catapulting China to one of the most favorable destinations for aspiring medics from neighboring nations like India, Pakistan or Bangladesh and African nations. The fees in a Chinese Medical College can be 25-50% less than the cost of studying in a private Institution in India. This is also cheaper than studying in traditionally favorable destinations like The United States of America, United Kingdom and Australia. The new doctors who often are colloquially referred to as "Made in China" doctors are returning to their home countries. They are now seeking an opportunity to be integrated into a healthcare system in dire need of trained health care professionals. ("Made in China" doctors. Med Teach. 2013).
